YouTube Audience Insights

Turn a video's comment section into a read on your audience: who is showing up, what they keep asking, who your repeat fans are, which comments deserve a reply or a pin, and what is working in your niche right now.

One honest limit up front: YouTube keeps the list of who liked a video private (only the aggregate count is public). So the engagement signal here is commenters, not likers. On YouTube the comment section is the richer signal anyway: it carries the questions, the objections, and the content ideas.

When to use

• "Who commented on my video / analyze my comments"
• "What are people asking me / what should my next video be"
• "Who are my repeat viewers"
• "What is trending in [niche] on YouTube right now"

Not for drafting a community post (use yt-community-post-writer) or writing a title (use yt-title-optimizer).

Setup (free, optional)

The read layer uses the official YouTube Data API v3, which is free: enable it at https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/youtube.googleapis.com, create an API key, and set YOUTUBE_API_KEY. Free quota is 10,000 units/day (a comments or stats call is 1 unit) which covers ~100,000 comments a day.
